It Has Started: Activist Court Rewrites Law

[skews13]

Late on Friday night, the Supreme Court blocked California’s public health ban on indoor religious services in a splintered 6–3 decision that augurs a major shift in the law of religious liberty. Justice Elena Kagan’s extraordinary dissent accused her conservative colleagues of endangering lives by overruling public health officials and potentially facilitating the spread of COVID-19. But the court’s new conservative majority ignored her warning—and, in the process, gave itself new powers to strike down alleged burdens on religious freedom. The Supreme Court effectively tossed out decades of case law in a late-night emergency order, unsettling precedent that states have relied upon to craft COVID restrictions. As Kagan sharply noted, Friday’s order “injects uncertainty into an area where uncertainty has human costs.”

Keep it up religious nut jobs. You're going to be our best reason to expand the court. And you can bet the farm on it. The court will be expanded to stop religious extremism. The most fundamental reason America was created to begin with.

Perhaps California should take a consensus of the people by putting it to a vote to see if they wish to remain on unconstitutional edicts made by authoritarian dictators who think their word is law.

This isn't an "alleged burden". It's an actual burden. Argue if you wish it was justified (I disagree) but you can't argue it was an "alleged burden".

sorry comrade but case law has no place when discussing the constitution,,,

 

[airplanemechanic]

The freedom of religion clause in the constitution doesn't have an asterisk by it saying "except during a pandemic".

The court finally got something right.

What did they re-write?

The 1st and 14th Amendments?



You need to go back to law school.

The First Amendment is absolutely clear on the freedoms of speech, religion, and assembly. This latest court ruling did not go far enough in upholding these rights, against lesser laws, and even illegal dictates from corrupt officials, that violate these freedoms.

There is nothing anywhere in the Constitution that even hints at any authority on the part of any part of government to make up a fake “pandemic” and use it as an excuse to violate the rights of the people that the Constitution explicitly asserts.

Maybe you need to polish up a bit on your history. Freedom is the fundamental reason America was founded. The courts have no right or authority to undo those freedoms established in our Constitution.

Fuck off. If you don't agree with the first amendment right to peaceably assemble, write to your congressman about a constitutional amendment. Good luck you that, you fucking anti-American piece of shit.

The freedoms of speech, religion, and assembly apply to all persons regardless of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic background, or any other characteristic. Our laws should NEVER, EVER prefer one over another or establish one religion/ideology over another. People who attend mass gatherings endanger the American People in this time of pandemic. If you want to contract the virus and have you and your loved ones die of it, so be it. You earned it. You have a right to be a dirty person. But don't spread it among the rest of us.

 

[Natural Citizen]

I keep telling people that case law is irrelevant.

We have a very good guide in the constitution. And it's all that is necessary.

The more you know....

Activist Court Rewrites Law

Don't you mean MAJORITY OPINION? 6-3 isn't activist but the majority, the popular vote. Now watch this fool take the ACTIVIST action of wanting to STACK THE COURT with 11 or 13 people until they get the vote THEY want, in an effort to counter "activism."

Tell that to Native Americans, African, and Chinese slaves. What a dumbass statement. And right in tune with the entitled asshole mindset. And lets not forget the rights of women. Which according to the good book are subserviants, to the entitled asshole mindset.

Every state has the duty to protect its citizens above everything else. Rights don't mean anything when you're dead. Or enslaved.

And what about those "Free" Americans that can become infected with the virus, after coming into contact with one of those entitled assholes, who think their "right" to worship, is above everyone else's "right", to not be infected? Of forced to have to endure their ignorance, because they exercise their "Freedom" from religion?

So they don't have the same "Freedoms". Is that what you're insinuating?

So in your estimation, burning women to death, or drowning them, because the might be percieved by one of these fundamentalist shit for brains assholes, of being a witch, should be a First Amendment right also, based on this new ruling by the newly packed court?

What other religious atrocities from the old world should we reinstate to accomodate these worhippers "rights"?

In the same post you state that these rights exist and should not be excluded on religion, then say the exact opposite.



I have never seen a more complete 180 in the same fucking post.

WOW!!!
